* 1/2 “The Best of Me” is just (Nicholas) Sparks’ greatest hits, starting with “The Notebook,” a touch of “Dear John” and running through every “not good enough for my daughter,” every tragic death, broken memory or noble sacrifice. — MCCLATCHY

* * * 1/2 “The Book of Life” is a Mexican-accented kids’ cartoon so colorful and unconventionally dazzling it almost reinvents the art form. — MCCLATCHY

* * * “Fury” is more like Sam Fuller’s personal war memoir, “The Big Red One,” straightforward, less poetic, an action film with a hint of humanity and history that is fast receding from view. — MCCLATCHY

* * * They’re going to make more “Guardians,” which is both good news and bad news. Director/ co-writer James (“Super”) Gunn won’t have the novelty of introducing us to this universe and these weirdos again. And since that’s pretty much the whole joke here, how will he get a curtain call out of them? — MCCLATCHY

* 1/2 A bloated all-star melodrama with none of the lean, mean legalese of a Joh Grisham adaptation, it’s a showboat’s movie cast with a lot of actors each promised “a big, cool scene.” — MCCLATCHY

Playing: Barkley Village

Times: 11:50 a.m., 3, 6:10, 9, 9:25

A newspaper reporter uncovers information that would link the CIA to the spread of crack cocaine in the 1990s and then finds his reporting and character coming under fire from the government and other newspapers. Jeremy Renner, Rosemarie DeWitt, Oliver Platt, Andy Garcia.

* * * Renner’s performance — beginning with bluster and descending into twitchy paranoia — sells it and makes us fret for every “messenger” suddenly the target of the spotlight himself. — MCCLATCHY

Dylan O’Brien, Thomas Brodie-Sangster, Ami Ameen.

* 1/2 This month’s “young adults save the future” film franchise is “The Maze Runner,” an indifferent quest tale about boys trapped in a gigantic maze with no idea how they got there. — MCCLATCHY

Playing: Barkley Village

Times: 12:30, 3:10, 6, 8:40

My Old Lady

PG-13, thematic material, some sexual references; 104 minutes. A down-on-his luck man comes to Paris to sell the apartment building owned by his deceased father and discovers an elderly woman living in one of the apartments who is unwilling to move. Kevin Kline, Maggie Smith, Kristin Scott Thomas.

* * 1/2 Smith and Kline and Scott Thomas give this a chance to sparkle. Kline dresses down wonderfully and his offhand way with the “Franglais” dialogue beautifully clashes with Smith’s English precision. — MCCLATCHY
